Frequently asked questions
About Zwolsestraat 385, 'S-Gravenhage
Is €2,450 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent is 19% below the neighbourhood average of €3,028, which puts it on the keen side for Belgisch Park. The floor area of 80 m² is 26% smaller than the average of 108 m² in the area, so the price per square metre works out at roughly €30.63, compared with the neighbourhood average of €26.76 per m². That means you pay a bit more per square metre, but the total monthly cost is lower than most rentals here.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is C, which is an official registration from EP-Online. A C label indicates a moderate level of energy efficiency, so you can expect reasonable but not minimal energy costs. The label does not say anything about the condition of the building itself, only about its energy performance. It is a standard classification that applies to the whole property.
How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is 5.1 km away, which is a bit of a trip if you rely on rail for commuting. The neighbourhood is well connected by tram and bus, so you can reach the station without a car. For local travel, the beach and the dunes are much closer, making this a good spot for those who prefer the seaside over the city centre.
What are the neighbours like in Belgisch Park?
Based on two resident reviews, the neighbourhood scores 8.89 out of 10. One resident describes it as having "nice people, never any trouble," and notes it is easily accessible by public transport. Another mentions the "touristy" feel and the pleasant atmosphere. The population is a mix of singles (50% of households) and families with children (26%), so you get a varied but friendly community.
How close are the shops and schools?
The nearest Albert Heijn is 643 metres away, about a ten-minute walk, and a Hoogvliet is 1.6 km further. For schools, the closest primary is Stichting Kievietschool at 4.5 km, and Bloemcampschool is 4.5 km as well. These are a bit further out, so you might need a bike or bus for the school run. The beach and the nature area are much closer, ideal for weekend outings.
Is the apartment furnished?
The listing does not state whether the apartment is furnished or unfurnished. The agent has not provided details on the interior, so you would need to see the property to know what is included. The floor area of 80 m² gives you a sense of the space, but the layout and fittings are not described in the listing.
